exactly that my guinea pig does. but why???? why on Earth???? I thought he liked being in my hands, but now I see a meaning of his burring sound.

Guinea pigs communicate with both sound and body language. When walking around together in the cage, or on the floor, they will often times squeak and grunt as they move about, which is a sign of general contentment. If a guinea pig, particularly a baby, gets lonely, it will squeal loudly, asking for reassurance. Guinea pigs that are housed alone will often make this sound, requesting human contact from their owners. The guinea pig will also squeal loudly when it suspects that food is on the way. This begging for food is reserved exclusively for humans.
Guinea pigs also squeal when they feel that they are in danger, which acts as a warning to others in the herd. This squeal is typically more panicked than the squeals for attention or food, and several squeals may be emitted in rapid succession.

When you pet a guinea pig, you will often times begin to hear it squeak or grunt, or even coo softly. These are sounds of contentment and pleasure, are are one of the main reasons why guinea pigs are so adorable as pets. If, however, you touch an area that they don't like (such as the sides of the tummy in a pregnant female, or the very bottom of any cavy), you might hear a rumbling sound, which serves as a warning. This rumbling is also made by guinea pigs when they hear sounds that they do not like (such as your upstairs neighbors banging on the floor, or a sharp snare drum on the radio), or when they want to warn others when something "isn't quite right".

When two females meet, the lower rank one might address the other with a rumbling rattle that sounds like the male arousal sound. The lower rank female will lower her head, thus asking for a truce from the more dominant sow. Sometimes, the dominant sow may feel threatened by this act, and will respond with angry chattering. In both male and female guinea pigs, this teeth chattering is the precursor to a fight, and nasty bites can follow if no one backs down.

The low, constant, rumbling rattle that a male makes when aroused is definitely a sexual behavior, but some males and females will often engage in mounting activities as an expression of dominance. Females may mount females of a lower rank, or even the male. Of course, when a sow is in heat, she will make this same purring to signal the male that she is ready for mating.

When your guinea pigs are in high spirits, you may see them leap straight up into the air while curving their backs, or run across the floor and make several shorter leaps in rapid succession. This jumping, commonly referred to as "popcorn jumping", or just "popcorning", is the sign of a healthy and happy guinea pig, and is one of the real gems in guinea pig behavior.
